“I’m Takako from Osaka, Japan. I was planning to add dictionary content to my website, and went searching for a WordPress plugin. I found a few, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted.

When I was almost ready to give up, I finally found Anne's page and checked the demo. I was satisfied with her Dictionary Plugin and Anatomy Theme. They looked great and user friendly. I purchased immediately with delight!

After installing it on my website, I had a few setup questions. To be honest, I felt a little anxious whether I would receive support or not, because there are many sellers who offer no customer support in the Internet world. But, Anne was quite different from such sellers and provided strong support for me. I feel so lucky to have met Anne, and strongly recommended her Dictionary Plugin and Anatomy Theme. I’m so excited to create my website with such usable tools: her awesome products!!”
